Any song lyrics that just stuck to your head first time you heard them?

Anyway try to guess where this came from...

When all the worms come crawling out of your head telling you don't be afraid.

Can You tell me where my country lies?

I read the news today oh boy

Three friends are made, three lives are laughs and tears

firth_of_Fifth wrote: Can You tell me where my country lies? Genesis "Dancing With the Moonlit Knight"   I read the news today oh boy Beatles "A Day in Life"   Three friends are made, three lives are laughs and tears Gentle Giant "Three Friends"

My own favourite line: "It doesn't seem right when there's that little dark figure running... won't somebody help me?"

Van der graaf, House with no door from the fantastic album H to he, Who am the only one...received the album 4 days ago fantastic stuff. Peter hamill is such a great lyricswriter. My fave is a plague of lighthouse keepers

Trouserpress wrote: "And your little sister's immaculate virginity wings away on the bony shoulders of a young horse named George who stole surreptitiously into her geography revision." That one's always done it for me.

I think it perhaps is tull?

That one's always done it for me. I think it perhaps is tull? It coitantly is. I love Anderson's more serious lyrics too, but that meeting of Milligan/Pythonesque humour and prog rock is the fusion of two very dear things to me and the result never fails to have me chortling with glee.

Yep i love the lyrics on aqualung.

Yes, it's Jethro Tull, "A Passion Play"

'Was it summer when the river ran dry..' Mad Man Moon - Genesis

'Can you tell me where my country lies..' DWTMK - Genesis

'Looking for someone' - Genesis

'Frozen in that fatal climb, but the wheels of time, just pass you by' - Between the wheels - Rush

'All of us get lost in the darkness, dreamers learn to steer by the stars' The Pass - Rush (I love those lyrics, the imagary is beautiful)

'So I hold my peace forever when you wear your bridal gown
in the silence of my shame the youth that sang the sirens song
has gone solo in the game
I've gone solo, in the game
But the game is over..'     - Script for a jesters tear - Marillion

'You f*cked up old hag, ha ha charade you are'  Pigs - Pink Floyd.

He made a face
of total disgrace
as if I had asked for a mutual game

Those also got me from the first time I heard them. Also: Son watches father scan obituary cards In search of absent school friends While his generation digests high fibre ignorance Cowering behind curtains and the taped up painted windows Very powerful imagery ...

Fish could be a real lyrical master at times, especially when it came to the romantic side of things. I think most of the lyrics to Kayleigh are inspired in their honesty and simplicity:

'Do you remember
chalk hearts melting on a playground wall
Do you remember
Dawn escapes from moonwashed college halls'

"You radiate cold shards of broken glass...."

"And in the end you'll pack up/Fly down south/Hide your head in the sand/Just another sad old man/All alone and dying of cancer...ohhohhhhhhhhh"

"Who was only a stranger at home/Who was ground down in the end/Who was found dead on the phone....dragged down by the stone...stone...stone....stone...stone...stone...stone...sto ne..."

"And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around"

Man, that was bleak....need something lighter...how about:

"I've got three beers and a fist full of downs/Now I'm gonna get ripped so phuk you clowns"

Two beautiful ones:

What did you dream?
It's alright, we told you what to dream...

And this one a little longer:

And a ring of violet bruises
They were pinned upon her arm.
Two hundred francs for sanctuary and she led me by the hand
To a room of dancing shadows where all the heartache disappears
And from glowing tongues of candles I heard her whisper in my ear
"'J'entend ton coeur"
I can hear your heart

I guess 99% of you will recognize them!

And this one will be much more difficult: it's not English and it's not prog, but I get shivers every time I listen to this song:

Ich bin gestorben dem Weltgetümmel
und rüh' in einem stillen Gebiet
Ich leb' allein in meinem Himmel,
in meinem Lieben, in meinem Lied

Actually, I hope nobody else has put this beautiful poem into music...

"Has the dawn ever seen your eyes,

have the days made you so unwise..."

I love those lines... Strange, but true. Piece of cake to find out where they came from, I guess...

Yes I do. As for the 2nd: I love a lot of the lyrics on side two of Misplaced Childhood.

Also: "It was morning, and I found myself mourning etc..." The pun is a bit cliche, but on the album it works. "...There is no childhood's end..." Fantastic.

Maybe we should ask threefates to help us...

Stand up and fight, for you know we are right.
We must strike at the lies, that have spread like disease through our minds.

Steep, far too steep, grew the pathway ahead
Descent was the only escape
A wolf never flees in the face of his foe
Fang knew the price he would pay

Maybe it was infatuation or the thrill of the chase
Maybe you were always beyond my reach and my heart was playing safe
But was that love in your eye I saw or the reflection of mine?
I'll never really know for sure, you never really gave me time

But now I'm the snake in the grass, the ghost of film reels past
I'm the producer of your nightmare and the performance has just begun
It's just begun

There's a photo on the mantelpiece, when you bought your first guitar
And your girlfriend came to see you when you were the rising star
You knew your luck was holding when you filled the local hall
The first time and the last time that you thought you had control

I could be a million miles away
I'm a wandering stranger just trying to find some answers
And although you're there you're a million miles away

I think you all know the most of these. The last one is from Pendragon's A million Miles away, though I lost the EP I'll always remember that line

Confidence has deserted me, with you it has forsaken me
Confused and rejected, despised and alone
I kiss isolation on its fevered brow
Security clutching me, obscurity threatening me
Your reasons were so obvious
As my friend have qualified, I only laughed away your tears
But even jesters cry

Really one could take Fish's lyrics from nearly every song he ever wrote...he is that good.

That's one of my favourite songs

The rain auditions at my window
it's symphony echoes in my womb

or something far more simple by Fish but equally as entertaining...

Ooooooh Wah

Ooooooh Wah

I'd like to add a little correction to the lyrics. It is not "rüh' " (which is not even a German word) but "ruh' " (which is poetical shortness for "rest", v.i.)

Right, I found the whole poem by Rückert and it reads:

Ich bin der Welt abhangen gekommen,
mir der ich sonst viele Zeit verdorben,
sie hat so lange nichts von mir vernommen,
sie mag wohl glauben, ich sei gestorben !

Es ist mir auch gar nichts daran gelegen,
ob sie mich für gestorben hält,
ich kann auch gar nichts sagen dagegen,
denn wirklich bin ich gestorben der Welt.

Ich bin gestorben dem Weltgetümmel,
und ruh in einem stillen Gebiet.
Ich leb allein in meinem Himmel
in meinem Lieben, in meinem Lied.

I'm sure the typo is in my CD booklet: not speaking a single word of German, it's difficult for me to have invented the ü there... I'll check it tonight at home...

Jim Garten wrote: But my classic of all time has to be: "The lord of lords, king of kings, has returned to lead his children home - to take them to the new Jerusalem" (do I really need to give the song title/band? )

Is that from the album "Phil Collins - Love Songs: A Compilation... Old And New"?

No, no, stop beating me!!! I'll behave!!!

Still a litle typo . It is not "abhangen" but "abhanden".

I think I did a double-take kidna thing when I first heard that line...but then I realized it was just Ian Anderson so I didn't care.

Well that's a very nice one. lovely lyrics you all wrote there (except the german which I do'nt understand at all).

I was'nt surprised many of you quoted "Dogs" cause it's amazing all the way. my lines from that masterpiece would be :

you got to be trusted by the people that you lie to

so that when they turn their backs on you

you'll get the chance to put the knife in.

and even more :

and you believe in heart everyone's a killer.

I'll add two more not yet mentioned :

everybody got to elevate from the norm ! - rush (vital signs, the closer of moving pictures).

the angels have fallen, they've all gone away. it's you that must find them by living each day - kansas (angels have fallen on monolyth)

Sorry everybody, I'll give you a translation of the poem by Rückert, that Mahler used in a song:

I have lost touch with the world
where once I wasted so much of my time.
Nothing has been heard of me for so long
that they might well think me dead.

Indeed, I hardly care
if the world thinks I am dead.
Neither can I deny it
for I am truly dead to the world

I am dead to the bustle of the world
and repose in a tranquil realm.
I live alone in my heaven,
in my loving, in my song.

Beautiful... The last four lines were the ones I initially quoted.

Before I have to call my lawyer, I copied this from my CD booklet: I'm not responsible for any wrong translation!!!

Thankyou Nacho !

Nice indeed .

Why?  Because the voice that sings it is just as beautiful as the words??    So lets cover a few more of those mind tingling lyrics...

- Just take a pebble and cast it to the sea.
  Then watch the ripples that unfold into me.
  My face spills so gently into your eyes,
  Disturbing the waters of our lives.

- Have you walked on the stones of years?
  When you speak, is it you that hears?
  Are your ears full? You can't hear anything at all.

- Clear the battlefield and let me see
  All the profit from our victory.
  You talk of freedom, starving children fall.
  Are you deaf when you hear the season's call?

  Were you there to watch the earth be scorched?
  Did you stand beside the spectral torch?
  Know the leaves of sorrow turned their face,
  Scattered on the ashes of disgrace.

  Every blade is sharp; the arrows fly
  We're the victims of your armies' lie,
  Where the blades of grass and arrows reign
  Then there will be very little sorrow,
  Very little pain.

 

-You and I are yesterday's answers

  the earth of the past come to flesh

  Eroded by time's rivers

  to the shapes we now possess

 

  Come share of my breath and my substance

  and mingle our streams and our times

  In bright infinite moments

  our reasons are lost in our eyes

 

- There's no end to my life,

  No beginning to my death:

  Death is life.

 

- Man alone; born of stone;

  Will stamp the dust of time

  His hands strike the flame of his soul;

 

- I give you the state of statesmen

  And the key to what motivates them

  On the left, on the right, on the nail

  Still I don't see a man in a mansion

  That an accurate pen won't puncture

  Go to town, go to hell, go to jail.

 

- So be closer to believing though your world is torn apart

  For a moment changes all things and to end is but to start

  And if your journey's unrewarded, may your God lift up your heart

  You are wind blown, but you are mine.

 

- A tattered cloak behind the throne

  It is unseen it is not known

  Behind this face I am alone

  I would give everything I own

  To touch you...

THIS IS ELP

Hi

Brand new to this forum. Love prog and dunno how I ever missed this great site and forum.

How about " The leaded window opened
  to move the dancing candle flame
And the first Moths of summer
  suicidal came."

Remember first time I heard that.

Cheers

^ I don't recall that...  Anbody else?

This made great impression to me:

"God!" sang the sea goat, "is always on both sides"

"Change" sang the sea goat, "is constant as the tides"

Thanks, Wigu!

" a salamander scurries into flames to be destroyed, imaginary creatures are trapped in earth on celuloid" (feel free to correct)

To be honest that's only what came to my head. toooooo many lyrics are memorable

"rain down, rain down, c'mon, RAIN down on me!!" for ex. Very simple, very bland= very easy to get stuck in head.

My favourite is from Billy Bragg's "Greetings to the New Brunette" -

"Here we are in our summer years, living on ice cream and chocolate kisses.

Would the leaves fall from the trees if I was your old man and you was my missus?"

This song also contains the immortal line

"How can you lie there and think of England when you don't even know who's in the team?"

"no one showed us to the land, and no one knows the where's or why's

something stires and someone tries, starts to climb towards the light"

- pink floyd - echoes

the whole lyrics of the song is so deep and mystic... damn good piece of music!

My signature - Witch Hunt, Rush

"And the things that we fear are a weapon to be held against us" - The Weapon, Rush

"Confusion will be my epitaph As I crawl a cracked and broken path" - Epitaph, King Crimson

"Come on you target for faraway laughter, come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!" - Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Pink Floyd.

Well, although the thread has gone from memorable "line" to memorable "lines" to memorable "verses" (), I'll try to bring it back to its original intention:

"For though your ship be sturdy, no mercy has the sea - will you survive on the ocean of being?"

Peace.

Take a look around, look around at my friend, take a look around....

I'd rather trust a country man than a town man...

all of Fly on a Windsheild

The chorus of "Church of your Heart"

I've always like this one line from Jethro Tull's "Skating Away on the Thin Ice of a New Day": 

Well, do you ever get the feeling that the story's too damn real and in the present tense?

Close to the Edge, Down by the corner

Close to the Edge, Just by a River

"Love is the dance of eternity"

"Me, im just a lawnmower, you can tell me by the way i walk"

"Here we go, vertigo, video vertigo, test for echo"

"Follow me down, yo the valley below"

Flower Kings' "Stardust we are, close to divine" - kind of sums up us the progfans (actually it is Woodstock anthem, which shows where our roots come from)

But actually it should be "Rings hopes and promises fragments out of time all of these things have been spoken but still you don't understand how it feels when I'm waiting for them to be broken" Van Der Graaf Generator "My Room".

"If the sky is seared with death what is the point of catching breath - expel it!" VDGG "Lemmings"

"Welcome back to the circus", "We are clutching at straws still drowning" our beloved Fish with Marillion "Cinderella Search", "The Last Straw" respondingly

"Oh by the way which one is Pink?"

"How could an intelligent hare make such a silly mistake?"

"But there is in fact more earth than sea"

".....still you turn me on"

and so on ad infinitum

Such variety of moods, such depth of wisdom and reflection, sometimes a bit hilarious, sometimes a bit of affirmation.

Let's face it, we should count ourselves lucky. Not only we listen to most brilliant musicians (even jazzers should admit it) but we also have the best poets in rock, Morrison including!!

"Neptune, Titan, Stars can Frighten!"

Pink Floyd, Astronomy Domine

Thats all I can think of right know.

"I'm inside the Big Machine... And it's eating me!" - Pain of Salvation - "Inside"

"Your sperm's in the gutter, your love's in the sink." - Jethro Tull - "Thick as a Brick"

"See there!  A son is born - and we pronounce him fit to fight.
There are black-heads on his shoulders, and he pees himself in the night." - Jethro Tull - "Thick as a Brick"

"I lie awake watching your shoulders
Move so softly as you breathe.
With every breath you're growing older,
But that is fine if you're with me.

The ray of light plays on your eyelids,
A sleeping beauty dressed in sun." - Pain of Salvation - "This Heart of Mine (I Pledge)"

"Watch fathers and sons pale cling to their guns.
Marching line by line leaving reason behind.
Their eyes now tensed with fear; enemies are near.
But all armies are only fathers and sons..." - Pain of Salvation - "Winning a War"

Since Germanic languages are dominant until now what about some Italian lyrics?

Dove stai? Dove sei?
solo dentro me.

Cosa fai? Come sei?
solo come me.
inventarti qua e là
è gioco vecchio oramai:
bussa già
la fretta di te.

Che farai amore mio,
che sorriso avrai?
Dai tuoi si dai tuoi no
cosa imparerò?

Principessa serena del cielo che avrò.
bussa già
la fretta di te.

"I'll never believe in love anymore
After this
After this "

-------------------------------------------

"And SEX was always there from when I was only eight years - tempting me leave thirsty
Sweat, skin, a PULSE divine to balance this restless MIND - it seemed so wonderfully physical
Oh the BLOOD, the lust, the bodies that color the world: all drugs to die for! Won't you share my fire?
How can LOVE make that world a minefield of forbidden GROUND?
A map of untouchable skin and SILENCED desire?

And love was there in vain, PROFOUND and deep but traced with pain - too early for a child of TEN
Loving the pure and sane he sought the goddess unstained - watching them turn to flesh again
HUNGRY for both the PURITY and SIN
Life seemed to him merely like a GALLERY of how to be
And he was always much more HUMAN than he wished to be
But there is a LOGIC to his world, if they could only see

Wishing - Sickened - Ill - Ticking

SOMEONE still this hunger (it's in my blood) always growing stronger (ticking)
BUDAPEST I'm learning, Budapest you're burning me

This is not who I wanted to be, this is not what I wanted to see
She's so young so why don't I feel free now that she is here under me?

Naked - Touching - Soft - Clutching

And then after all it lead me here to wake up again
Seeking a love that might make me feel free in myself but then it proves to be
Something that hurts inside when we touch, so I move on, I lose my way
Astray I'm trying too much to feel unchained, to burn out this sense of feeling cold
And every day I seek my prey: someone to taste and to hold
I feel alive during the split second when they smile and meet my eyes
But I could cry 'cause I feel broken inside!
COME and DROWN with me- the UNDERTOW will sweep us away!
And you will see that I'm ADDICTED to my HONESTY
Trust! 'Cause after all my sense of TRUTH once brought me here
But I've LOST control and I don't know if I am true to my soul
I've lost CONTROL and I don't know if I am true to my soul
Losing control and I don't know if I am TRUE AT ALL

[Johan Hallgren]
[Daniel Gildenlow]

And we were always much more human than we wished to be...
And I remember when you said you've been UNDER him - I was suprised to feel such pain
And all those years of being faithful to YOU despite the hunger flowing through my veins
And I have always tried to calm things down - SWALLOW down swallow down
"It's just another small THORN in my crown"
But suddenly one day there was too much blood in my eyes, and I had to take this WALK down
REMEDY LANE of whens and whys...

Empty - Licking - Clean - Choking

SOMEONE still this hunger (possessing my mind) always growing stronger (craving)
BUDAPEST I'm learning, Budapest I'm burning me
This is not who I wanted to be, this is not what I wanted to see
She's so young so why I don't feel free now that she's under me?
In the morning she's going away in a Budapest taxi I've paid
Seeking freedom I touched the untouched - it's too much - I'm BEYOND THE PALE...

Prematurity is the story of both you and me, and we were always much more human than we wished to be
Prematurity is truly the story of both you and me, and we were always much more human than we wished to be
We were always much more human than we wished to be - we were always much more human than we wished to be
We will always be more human then we wish to be

WE WILL ALWAYS BE SO MUCH MORE HUMAN THAN WE WISH TO BE..."

Second Love and Beyond The Pale of Pain Of Salvation. 15 minutes of prog glory. The best and more emotional lyrics that I never heard in music. Remedy Lane is truly a big, big, masterpiece.

"So here I am once more in the playground of the broken hearts
One more experience, one more entry in a diary, self-penned
Yet another emotional suicide overdosed on sentiment and pride"

"So I'll hold our peace forever when you wear your bridal gown
In the silence of my shame the mute that sang the sirens' song
Has gone solo in the game, I've gone solo in the game
But the game is over

"I've got the wiring loose inside my head"

What if the rest of the world was hopelessly blinded by fear?
Where would my sanctity live? Suddenly nobody cares...
What if the rest of the world was hopelessly drowning in vain?
Where would our self pity run? Suddenly everyone cares.

Dream Theater - "Scarred"

"All the same we take our chances, laughed at by time, tricked by circumstances.
Plus ça change, plus c'est la meme chose - The more that things change, the more they stay the same"
